**EXCLUSIVE** Secret Service just arrested a stowaway who made it onto the Bush press charter plane in Pretoria, South Africa this morning and flew unmolested to here, Entebbe, Uganda. After getting on and off the 747 with absolutely no credentials, he boarded a bus with the rest of the White House press corps and was taken to the Imperial Botanical Beach Hotel on the shore of Lake Victoria -- the same hotel where Bush arrived 90 minutes later. At length, the White House staff noticed that no one seemed to know the guy, so they alerted Secret Service, who arrested him right here at the hotel. There was a lot of shouting from the guy as he was hustled off to jail. Secret Service Agent Mark Sullivan assured reporters the president was never in danger, although he didn't say whether the same held true for the press. After all, there are reports of Al Qaeda presence here in Uganda. MORE... Man had no weapons, sources tell DRUDGE, and no passport. Man being charged by Ugandan authorities with illegal entry. He was nabbed after actually trying to enter the part of the hotel complex were the president was making his appearance... MORE...

“I’m just amazed that something like this could happen,” said Greg Packer, 38, of Huntington.

“I thought Bush was going to kill somebody,” added Terrance J. Wilkinson, “If I wasn’t a figment of Doug Thompson’s imagination, I would used my CIA training to prevent this security breach.”

NOTHING and I reiterate NOTHING surprises me with this government of ours anymore.

I hope the stowaway was in perfect health. I expect they are running a battery of medical examinations on him to rule out scores of contageous illnesses.

[Nick Danger]

Greg Packer strikes again.

[Amelia]

ROFL!

I believe this was the press plane and not Air Force 1, so security is not as tight.

But you are correct someone at the Secret Service messed up, but another agent picked up on it.

I'd suggest searching that hotel top to bottom; I can imagine this guy was supposed to hide in that part of the hotel until GW showed up and then used his previously hidden weapon to do his nastiness.

SNAFU

Bill Clinton screaming, "I'm still president! I'm still president!!"
